Now for those readers stopping on to read the tutorial: OK so are you ready to make one of these? They're super easy - I promise! :)

Step 1 - Supplies

This list is in addition to basic supplies of cardstock etc... It's easier if you've got these in your crafty stash but if you haven't, improvise!

Seed Packet Die (Papertrey Ink)

Tag Sale Die #1 (Papertrey Ink)

Rectangular Nestability (Spellbinders)

Acetate

Sticky Foam Pads

Ink for stamping on acetate (I used Staz-on)

Step 2 - Cut a tag from white cardstock and a tag from acetate

Step 3 - Stamp image on acetate (I used Staz-on) and stamp same image in light ink on paper (yes, paper and not card; you want to keep things nice and slim for the trick to work smoothly) and colour (trust me, it's much easier to do this rather than try and stamp precisely on the card tag so the images line up nicely when on top of each other). Alternatively you could stamp on patterned paper - it's up to you!

Step 5 - Die-cut seed packet die and use a nestability to create the window. Now I'd already made sure my sentiment would fit along the bottom - make sure yours does too if that's where you want to place it! No nestability? No problemo! Use a ruler and craft knife instead!

Step 6 - Stamp and emboss sentiment. (Your sentiment might feature on the card rather than the window frame, in which case, just ignore this step!)

Step 7 - Fold seed packet die and place a white piece of card inside (this card will allow the image to show through the window and also hides the folds of the seed packet die)

Step 8 - Thread ribbon/twine through the two tags to secure them together

Step 9 - This is where the magic happens! Thread the acetate tag into the seed packet die, and allow the card tag to hang behind it.

The back of your seed packet die should have the card tag hanging there like this:

Step 10 - Apply foam pads around the back of the frame and adhere to cardbase to finish! I trimmed some foam pads in half to make them tiny - you don't want them to interfere with the movement of the tags.

Step 11 - Assemble....

...and play:

Step 12 - Indecisiveness/a change of heart.....!

I decided to trim the top panel from the seed packet die - although it hides the top part of the tag nicely, it disguises the magic too. It's entirely a personal preference but I'm always a sucker for extra magic!

So there you have it! I hope some of you find this useful, and will try this fun interactive approach to cards yourself - if you do, be sure to let me know so I can check it out!

Oh, my Duchess...I know you've just shown us the secret, but it STILL looks like amazing magic to me :) You are a dear for sharing this! It's the coolest thing I've EVER seen on a card :) I've been back setting up my classroom all week :) Feels good but I've discovered TEACHING blogs! ACK! And there are more of them than card blogs! LOL I'm going to be a basket case! Enjoy the last bit of summer!

YOU are magical. What a wonderful tutorial - thorough but not too much. Touch of humor! I am still amazed by this technique but have yet to give it a try. Now I must.Your card design - spotlessly clean as usual!

fantastic card and so clever-thanks for sharing how you did this-I am saving this in my 'tutorial' folder for future reference-one day I might be brave enough to give it a go! and I see now you are not back to school (was only looking at the card earlier!) x

Fantabulis!! Thank you so much for the gorgeous tutorial! I love these cards that you make - the focus is all on the dynamic interaction - snipping off the top panel of the seed packet was a great idea!
